to configure settings for Camera. Not all of the following options are available
in both still camera and video camera modes. The available options vary depending on the
mode used.
•
Photo size
/
Video size
: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. But it
takes up more memory.
•
Face detection
: Set the device to recognise people’s faces and help you take photos of
them.
•
Metering
: Select a metering method. This determines how light values are calculated.
Centre-weighted
measures background light in the centre of the scene.

the light value at a specific location.
Matrix
averages the entire scene.

camera equivalents. Low values are for stationary or brightly-lit objects. Higher values are
for fast-moving or poorly-lit objects.
•
Anti shake
: Activate or deactivate anti-shake. Anti-shake helps focus when the camera is
moving.
•
Save as

mode.
•
GPS tag

to create albums in

To improve GPS signals, avoid shooting in locations where the signal may be
obstructed, such as between buildings or in low-lying areas, or in poor weather
conditions.

Your location may appear on your photos when you upload them to the Internet.
To avoid this, deactivate the GPS tag setting.
